Dominican Month for Peace: Venezuela
Our Dominican Family continue to serve in regions of Venezuela in the midst of turmoil. Each week during Advent there will be invitations to webinars, videos, reflection and prayers to highlight the Month for Peace. All are welcome to participate as we join with the Dominican Family worldwide in this annual tradition.
The Dominican Month for Peace is an annual event of the Dominican Family initiated by the Master of the Order after the 2016 Jubilee celebration of the 800th anniversary of the Order of Preachers. In the spirit of St. Dominic, it aims to show solidarity with Dominicans promoting peace in a world torn by many forms of violence and war.
Now we turn to Venezuela. Join us throughout the month for peace to learn about the ministry of the Dominican Family and the struggles of the Venezuelan people who seek solidarity with us.
Let us pray for lasting peace in Venezuela!
Below is an excellent PDF (in English and Spanish) summarizing the issues that Venezuelan Dominicans face in trying to bring peace and justice this troubled country.
